Congress will be in recess for about three weeks; the Senate will take up the bill at that time. We have much to do to and little time; but we know PUSH BACK WORKS and even this horrid bill now contains language somewhat protective of some natural food solutions. Not enough! But this is a start and we can finish this in the Senate. Thousands have joined the Health Freedom Action eAlert in the past few days. Now it’s time to act!
